Happy New Year! 2018 was such an exciting year. Chris and I got married, I turned 30, and Salem Style also totally rocked it.

This year, I really wanted to focus back more on Salem Style. This adventure has been great, but I think it can be even better. This year the theme is growth. I absolutely love making handmade knitwear (and will continue to do so!) but as you can see, more items are popping up in the shop. Everything that is available has been purchased from a wholesale distributor and intentionally curated by me, with you in mind. I did not make these items, I wanted to be able to offer a larger variety of accessories that you would think are awesome. Everything I selected will complement the cozy knitwear and goes with the Salem Style brand.

So I will continue making making making like crazy, but just wanted to give you the scoop on the other really cool items that you will see being added to the collection.

Salem Style first opened a shop on Etsy in December 2011. Almost seven years later, September 2018 is the latest milestone. Now you can buy cozy accessories directly from salemstylestudio.com under shop.

This has been a dream that is becoming a reality. This new chapter of the shop is just beginning.

It’s incredibly exciting to be sharing this with all of you. At Salem Style, we’re all about keeping you warm and cozy in a great hat and scarf.

fall is such an awesome time. the leaves are changing colors, the weather is perfect, and all the cozy things emerge. autumn is a time to refresh and renew after the summer is over. i don’t know about you, but I always get that “back to school” feeling, whether I’m in school or not! instead of getting anxiety over it, I’ve turned it into excited energy! Here are some of the things we have been up to:

first, we did a fall photo shoot to really capture the vibe of Salem Style. Corinne from CE Photographee was our photographer, and Rachel styled the shoot. we had such a great time on the roof of a parking garage. music was blasting and everyone really got into it! here are just a few favorites from that day:

next, the team is growing. my heart jumps with joy just typing that. although it made me realize, there has always been a team. Chris has always been amazing with shipping out your orders, and Tim designed the current logo and website (and fixes it when I break the site). this fall, a few more awesome friends will be joining the team!

also, since I am the only one who currently makes all of the items in the shop, I have decided to scale back. at one point, I tried to have every item available in every color imaginable. going forward, I am going to remake the items in the colors that are the most popular. this will make it easier for me to make sure items stay in stock.

If you have been a follower of Salem Style for a little while, you will know that around here, we’re all about autumn! The fall season is definitely a fan favorite, and we welcome it. To get into the spirit of the season, here are a few awesome handmade items to make your home more cozy.

this candle from Soy Much Brighter that will make your home smell like a cozy cabin in the woods.

a handmade match holder from DieheartBoutique to display all of those matches you will need to light candles.

this banner from LovingLeighYours that will be there to remind you if you need it.
